Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC Fisheye HSM

I am debating between a few fisheye lenses but i have yet to see any samples of this lens. I'm pretty sure there isn't a thread for this yet, if there is, i apologize. If you have any samples of this lens please post, I would love to see!

I tested it against the Tokina 10-17 and found the sigma 10mm a better performer overall. I don't need zoom on a fisheye. I have better examples of the sharpness en nice colour of this lens at home. Will post some later today.

I love the lens. I bought it thinking oh it'll be abit of a novelty but either way it will be more usefull than my 10-20. . . . .But first shoot with it i was totally blown away. Its dam sharp, produces great colours and is really quick and you can use it a way that doesnt scream out loook its a fisheye.

The tokina is a nice lens, but in my opinion the sigma is sharper and i like the colour better. At f2.8 it's already quite sharp (a few of my example pics are wide open). I don't need zoom on a fisheye, i want the best performance at 10mm.Because of the HSM motor the sigma also focusses really fast and quiet.
